A foreigner can work on the Croatian territory on the basis of a work permit or a permit to conduct business. Based on these permits, the foreigner has the right to stay on the territory of the country for work and maintenance of his/her activities, for which the appropriate permissions must be given.

The work permit is issued in coordination with the Croatian Employment Service, the term of the contract is discussed with the employee (but not longer than two years).

Authorization to households activity is also the approval of the residence permit and approval for work on the territory of the Republic of Croatia at the same time, because when you apply for such a permit you are to complete all the requirements which are the same for receiving a residence permit.
